Transparency
As a membership association, leadership holds themselves accountable to a high degree of transparency in all things including SAVMA policies. All policies are published here for public and membership access. Policies are developed and approved by committees before being approved by the board of directors. This process ensures the maximum number of subject matter experts have reviewed documents for clarity, ease of use, relevance, intent and accuracy. Questions from members are encouraged through our contact form.
